So, maybe the topic is a bit unclear, but is there a mod that allows me to build without having the character to run all over the map? Like in Sim city, you can build everywhere without having a character thans runs around. It's kind of annoing when i have built a bit base, and keep bumping into everything and i have to zig zag across the map if i have to pick up resources.

That's what sandbox mode is. If you hit no to all the questions it doesn't add anything that's not in the normal freeplay scenario, and is otherwise the same except you don't have a character. The code posted above essentially does the same thing.

Alternatively I wrote a mod that disables player collision entirely, so you can run around without worry (mostly, you can still take damage from things), but you can still use armor and equipment (like personal roboports), which you can't do if you don't have a character.
